How to log out of WhatsApp and delete it - in detail?

To log out of WhatsApp and delete it, follow these detailed steps:

1. Logging Out from WhatsApp:

   • Open the WhatsApp application on your device.
   • For Android users, tap on the three dots in the upper right corner to access the menu. For iOS users, tap on "Settings" at the bottom right corner of the screen.
   • Navigate to "Account."
   • Select "Delete my account." You will be prompted to enter your phone number in international format. For example, if you are from the United States, you would enter +1 followed by your area code and phone number (e.g., +1 234-567-8901).
   • Tap "Delete my account" to confirm. This action will log you out of WhatsApp on the device.

2. Deleting the WhatsApp Application:

   • For Android devices: Go to your device's settings and navigate to "Apps" or "Application Manager." Find WhatsApp in the list of installed applications, tap on it, and select "Uninstall." Confirm the action if prompted.
   • For iOS devices: Locate the WhatsApp icon on your home screen. Press and hold the app until it starts to jiggle. Tap the small "x" that appears on the top left corner of the app icon. Confirm the deletion by tapping "Delete."

3. Additional Considerations:

   • Deleting WhatsApp from your device will remove all messages, media, and data associated with the application from your local storage. However, any data backed up to cloud services such as Google Drive or iCloud may still be retained unless you also delete those backups.
   • If you have enabled two-step verification on your WhatsApp account, make sure to disable it before attempting to delete your account to avoid complications in the process.

By following these steps, you will successfully log out of WhatsApp and completely remove the application from your device.
